Just received this. Well worth a visit up to Hirst Park Ashington, where Jackie and his brother Bobby played football as children. Unveiled in October 2022, two years after his death. The bronze statue depicts a smiling Jackie in a relaxed, friendly pose, wearing a jacket and flat cap. Unbelievable likeness. Jackie had 773 record club appearances for us (that will never happen again )
Jenny sent me a video of her young daughter Hope, who had mastered playing Leeds Leeds Leeds (marching on together) on the keyboards. So I signed a little Leeds Flag and sent it. I only posted it yesterday and it is proudly displayed on Hopes wall today in Northern Ireland. Well done again Hope (a massive DCL fan by the way)
